## Summary

National Highways has announced a contract variation for the "Highways England - Vehicle Recovery Contract - Variation 2 (2025-2026)." This extension, awarded to FMG Support Ltd, updates the previously awarded contract to continue until 30 June 2026, with adjustments to accommodate increased vehicle recovery volumes and new statutory charges. The contract is valued at £69,679,000 and falls under the breakdown vehicles industry category (CPV 34144220). Services will be rendered across multiple regions in the United Kingdom, including London, the South East, and the Midlands. The procurement stage is complete, and the contract, initially awarded through an open procedure, will commence on 1 April 2025.

This tender creates opportunities for businesses within the vehicle recovery and related services industry, especially those capable of handling increased recovery operations and debt recovery services. Enterprises that can provide robust vehicle recovery solutions, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), will find this contract beneficial for growth due to the continued demand for vehicle removal services across the Strategic Road Network. FMG Support Ltd’s existing infrastructure and experience in the sector further highlight the suitability of well-established providers to compete in this space.

## Notice

This notice is confirmation that a contract previously tendered and awarded to the named supplier to start 01 April 2020, has been extended under the terms of the original agreement and shall now expire 30 June 2026. In addition, the contract value has been uplifted to enable continuation of service due to an increase to the anticipated volume of vehicle recoveries and revision to the vehicle recovery statutory charges that is applied by the Home Office under The Removal, Storage and Disposal of Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Regulations 2023. The vehicle recovery contract provides the capability for Traffic Officers to remove broken down, accident damaged and abandoned vehicles from any part of the Strategic Road Network (SRN) using statutory powers granted to them in the Removal and Disposal of Vehicles (Traffic Officers) Regulations 2008. This contract provides National Highways with a national recovery service that can be mobilised by Traffic Officers to remove vehicles from the SRN and also includes a debt recovery service to recover sums from customers where their vehicles have been removed (including storage and disposal fees where applicable) under this contract provision.
